What is your favorite genre of music?

There’s a kind of music that just sticks with you. The kind you play on repeat not because it’s catchy, but because it means something. It makes you feel seen. Understood. Encouraged. That’s the kind of music I keep coming back to.

Over the years, I’ve realized that what I love most are songs that tell a story—ones that carry a message, offer comfort, or give me a sense of hope. Whether I’m feeling overwhelmed, inspired, or just need something real, it’s these kinds of songs that feel like home.

I’m drawn to a mix of folk pop, jazz-pop, and inspirational pop—the kind of music that feels warm, honest, and deeply human. Artists like The Corrs, Colbie Caillat, Gavin DeGraw, and Gone West bring in that acoustic, heartfelt sound that instantly grounds me. There’s something raw and genuine about their music.

Then there are voices like Norah Jones, Basia, and Sara Bareilles, whose songs feel personal—like letters written with grace and vulnerability. “Gravity” is one of those songs I’ll never get tired of. It holds something real.

I also turn to artists like Kelly Clarkson, whose voice always carries strength and sincerity. And while I’m not a big Miley Cyrus fan, her song “The Climb” is one that’s stuck with me over the years. It’s the kind of track that reminds you to keep going, even when things feel uncertain or heavy.

And of course, BTS. Their music has become a powerful part of my life. From group anthems to individual solos by J-Hope and V, I find their work both meaningful and inspiring. Songs like “Equal Sign,” “Blue & Grey,” and “Spring Day” are filled with messages of self-acceptance, healing, and emotional honesty. They don’t just sing—they speak to something deeper.

I also enjoy Rosé from BLACKPINK—there’s something tender and heartfelt about her solo songs that really speaks to me.

So, what’s my favorite genre? I’d say it’s music that brings heart and meaning to the surface. Songs that tell the truth. Songs that remind me of who I am—or who I want to become.

For me, the best songs don’t just sound good—they stay with you. And maybe that’s the kind of music we all need more of.
